Wayne State College men's basketball coach Jeff Kaminsky is excited to announce the signing of four student-athletes to national letters of intent during the national signing period for the 2023-24 school year.  The signing class includes Zach Anderson of Sherburn, Minnesota, JJ Ferrin from Omaha, Aiden Sullivan of Olathe, Kansas and Wade Voss from Lincoln.
            "This is a great week for the future of Wayne State basketball," remarked Coach Kaminsky.  "All four players have extremely high character and have experience success on and off the court and in the classroom.  They are skilled and come from successful high school programs.  We really value talented competitors who are great teammates.  Not only is that true of all four of our recruits but they also fill the specific needs that we targeted in this class.  Our staff and entire program are excited about the announcement of this talented recruiting class."
            Zach Anderson is a 6-6 small forward from Martin County West High School in Minnesota where he is a four year letter winner in basketball while also playing quarterback in football and starting three years in baseball.  As a junior last season, Anderson averaged 18.9 points, eight rebounds and three assists per game leading the Mavericks to a 23-5 record and the Valley Conference basketball title.  He was named All-Valley Conference and selected Sentinel All-Area Basketball Player of the Year.  Anderson has already scored 1,316 career points entering his senior season and shot 56 percent from the field and 84 percent at the free throw line last season.
            "One of our primary needs in this year's recruiting class was to add a guard or wing with skill, versatility and length and when we watched Zach play this summer we knew he would be a great fit with us," said Kaminsky.  "He is a hard worker and was the best shooter we saw at his position.  Zach will be a tough matchup, especially as he continues to develop, and we are excited about his future."

            JJ Ferrin, a 6-2 point guard from Omaha Skutt Catholic High School, is a two year starter and three year letter winner in basketball.  Last season he earned First Team All-River Cities Conference honors averaging 12.1 points, three rebounds and two assists per game helping the Skyhawks to a 24-2 record and a Class B State Runner-up finish.  Ferrin set a school record last season with 71 3-point field goals while shooting 40 percent behind the arc and 81 percent at the free throw line.  He also excels in the classroom earning NCPA Academic All-State honors the last two seasons.
            "JJ is a skilled combo guard and one of the best shooters in the state of Nebraska," commented Kaminsky.  "He is a tough competitor and great leader, is constantly working on his game and has an exciting future in our program.  We admire the ability and confidence that JJ will bring to our program."

            Aiden Sullivan, a 6-8 power forward from Olathe Northwest High School in Kansas, is a three-year starter and letter winner in basketball.  Last season he averaged 15 points, eight rebounds, three blocks and two assists per game while earning Second Team All-Sunflower League and Kansas Class 6A All-State honorable mention recognition.  Sullivan shot 73 percent from the field last season, a school record, and made 17 of 18 field goals in one game. 
            "Aiden is a unique player in an era where lots of inside players are more fascinated with their perimeter game," stated Kaminsky.  "He truly embraces physical play on both ends of the court and will give us a consistent inside threat in our program which values playing inside out.  We are excited about what he will add and how he can continue to develop.  Aiden is a valuable addition to our program."

            Wade Voss is a 6-7 power forward from Lincoln Southeast High School.  He is a two-year starter and three-year letter winner for the Knights.  Last season Voss recorded 11.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game to earn All-City honorable mention honors.  He also stands out in the classroom with Scholar Athlete and Honor Roll with Distinction honors.
            "We are excited to add Wade to our roster and how well he will fit into our style of play," remarked Kaminsky.  "Versatile forwards on both ends of the court have had lots of success in our program.  He is truly a team player who can help his team win in a lot of ways.  With his versatility to score on the offensive end and guard multiple positions on the defensive end.  Wade has bright future as a Wildcat."
